| Humminguru record cleaner @czarivey So, do you spin the LP clockwise, or anticlockwise? | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers I read an article somewhere in the past year about the sounds associated with aurora borealis (northern lights). It’s been “folklore” for centuries that people have reported HEARING them while scientists, ahem, *S*C*I*E*N*T*I*S*T*S* have scoffed,... | |

| Anyone See Downside to an Ionizer blowing on Turntable? I’ve had this in my cart for a few months now thinking it might work as well as if not better than some of the MUCH higher-priced options. Thoughts? And don’t suggest “increase humidity, DERP!” Increased humidity increases dust mites which incre... | |

| USB Digitil microscope advice Thanks for that, @dogberry After some fiddling and futzing around with my cell phone (Moto 5G power, $199 from the global jungle store) camera, lighting, trying to get 4cm from the needle with a Hudson HiFi VTA scale behind getting everything in... | |
| USB Digitil microscope advice @ketchup Seriously? I got exactly the same scope a few months back and this was the BEST I could get of all angles/lighting. Depth of field on the thing was about as deep as the point on your stylus. I’d BREATHE in the same cubic yard of spac... |
